Project Manager

Help Build a Movement That Could Change a Generation.

Volunteer Project Manager | JakeyMac Foundation (501(c)(3))

Remote | 5–8 Hours Weekly | Flexible Schedule

What if the most important project you ever managed wasn't for a company—but for an entire generation?

Millions of young people are struggling with excessive screen time, digital distractions, declining real-world engagement, and challenges they're not always prepared to navigate.

We're building something to change that.

And we need a leader who knows how to turn extraordinary ideas into reality.

JakeyMac Foundation is launching SmartFast™, a youth empowerment and education initiative designed to help families replace passive screen time with confidence-building experiences, engaging audio lessons, and real-world life skills.

We have the vision, educational concepts, technology plans, and an ambitious mission.

Now we need an exceptional Volunteer Project Manager to bring the people, priorities, and moving parts together.

Your Mission

• • Turn vision into execution: Transform big ideas into clear project plans, milestones, timelines, and measurable deliverables.
  • Lead a remote volunteer team: Coordinate writers, social media creators, designers, technology contributors, and other mission-driven professionals.
  • Keep projects moving: Organize weekly priorities, track progress, identify obstacles, and ensure commitments become completed work.
  • Build systems that scale: Create simple workflows, checklists, and repeatable processes that make a growing nonprofit more effective.
  • Drive campaign launches: Help coordinate the rollout of Moms Fight Back, SmartFast educational content, community initiatives, and awareness campaigns.
  • Protect the mission: Keep projects aligned with quality standards, youth safety, and organizational priorities.

You're Our Kind of Leader If…

You believe ideas don't change the world. People who execute them do.

You're organized, resourceful, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple projects without constant supervision.

You know how to motivate volunteers, communicate clearly, establish accountability, and turn ambitious goals into achievable weekly actions.

Experience with Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday.com, Notion, or similar tools is helpful.

Experience in project management, operations, startups, marketing, or nonprofit organizations is a plus.

You don't need a corporate title. You need ownership, initiative, and the ability to get things done.

What You'll Gain

• • Meaningful impact: Help bring educational resources to families and young people who need them.
  • Leadership experience: Coordinate a multidisciplinary team working on an innovative nonprofit initiative.
  • Portfolio-building opportunities: Lead real projects, develop operational systems, and document measurable accomplishments.
  • Direct collaboration: Work closely with Foundation leadership on strategy, innovation, and execution.
  • A mission worth your time: Help create something with the potential to improve—and possibly save—young lives.

Ready to Turn a Big Vision Into a Real-World Movement?

We're not looking for someone to manage a to-do list.

We're looking for a builder.

Someone who sees a complicated challenge and says, "I know how to make this happen."

Someone who believes their leadership skills can accomplish more than improving a company's bottom line.

Help us build the systems, coordinate the talent, and launch the programs that could empower an entire generation.
